I was watching a documentary once that said the Nazis never actually used the word Nazi. But, it did not bother to explain how it got associated. Kind of annoying, but not enough for me to go out and research.

The term “Nazi” derives from the name given in German to a party member Nationalsozialist and was coined in response to the German term Sozi, an abbreviation of Sozialdemokrat (Member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany).

Actually it is right, the Nationalsozialist Party was a combination of the ailing Nationalist and Socialist parties who had no hope at gaining power independently. During the Night of the Long Knives (not Krystalnacht, the other early murder spree) the leading Nationalists killed the leading Socialists, and absorbed all the remaining party members. This was also when all the social policies involving healthcare, a sensible legal system, deconstruction of the class structure, etc were thrown out of Nazi doctrine.

I was hoping for a battle… but they moved so slowly, with LONG intervals between actual attacks that it seemed either scripted, or lame… or maybe both, of course.

Japanses bot had a rapid-fire paintabll gun that was POURING fire on the US bot. Did they show us the impact? Not any. Granted, it wouldn’t have done damage, probably, but the whole thing was defanged, so at least show the splatter pics!
